The following article was taken from
the Columbia, S. C.. correspondence of
the Charlotte Observer and will be read
wiih interest by our people:
A major of Infantry, wfear-ng the in
siRiyiu -of the 120th Infantry, cume wal
king up a sandy street at Camp Jack
son early this afternoon. He approa
ched headquarters of mar regiment
and some lieutenant saw this major.
A yell that hardly was befitting of
a quiet Sunday afternoon 9:1 a camp
where many k-haki-clad heroes were
lazily napping resounded throughout
that section. This immediately was
followed by the loudly spoken request :
"Colonel Minor, Colonel Scott, come
here, come here 'toot sweet.' "
The coloueN ?nd^a number of other
officers rushed to the door. They had i
reason to be looking for trouble.
Then they joined in the yelling that
was quickly becoming general.
Maj. Samuel P. Boddie. formerly
commander of Company I"). I,ouisburg.
and later commander of the Third bat- j
tdlion. 120? h Infantry, v.as the cause ,
of it all.
After a while the somewhat amazed
and somewhat ntrnmca correspondent
was enlightened.
Major Boddie was a very popular
:i and officer with both his fellow
?ms and the onlister. men of his
< nand. In the desperate struggle

Dear Sir:
As I have this evening off I wi'l
write you a few lii>es. ; a.:i well nml;
happy in the very best or Health. The ?
only thing that is the matter with us |
.?>? iii?> wii nr* ' iniH'l K i; u w

it won't be lpng.
The only thing that i* interesting to
us is we have plenty of French girls
to look at. oifly a tfw or us can talk
to them. One more thing that inter- j
est? us is we hjyve lots of whiskey and I
wine. Now don't think that I a-ver I
?rrrTTTu?airy! n doesn't take but two i
drinks to kill a man. the French peo- !
pie drink wine for water. I don't
think that I ever saw one take a drink
of inAUW, wine duiun't . mulie them '
drunk. If yoij want a fool let some |
Ameiti.ui soldiers get fli mik mi it. ho *
thinks that he owns France. It cost
about 45 cents over here and whiskey I
about $4.00 to $5.00 a quart. It does j
not take a follow very long to spend
his months wages at that. Tell old |
. Ben Holden that I am going, to send ;
him a quart just for fun. don't let him
<lrink too much at a time, he might
get sleepy.
I am writing this letter In a French
house and there sure a pretty girl in
here. I have got one "ey%on her and
"one eye on this letter. ?ouie times I
think that I will stay over here, the
only fault that I have got of them-ifcey
wear wooden shoes, you can hear one
walking two hundred yards. I went
Tpr awalk the other day ?tid T could not
hear for them durned old shoes. Do
you think that I could ever break one
of this habit.
Well I must close for Ihls time.
Yours truly.

"Our object." he said. " :s to make
the flight a practical<&uc. To demon
si rate that it can be done every day in

there first I would not say that we

? Ized?Secretary Baker Tells of Plans
-For Rapid Repatriation of 1". S. Sol

?A
A sharp forward stride toward an
early peace has been taxen. The
council of four in Paris nas formally
invited Germany to senc ceiegates to 5
Versailles April 25. there to hear the |
verdict of the Entente Allies and asso- i
ciuted powers and the sentence they [
have imposed upon her for having set:
the world aflame.
| The general opinion in Paris seems
to be that Germany may endeavor to
j haggle over the hard terms and try to
i secure a dimiiiutation In their severity,
'but within a .relatively:short- time the
delegates will bow to the inevitable and
!sign the compact. Advices from Lon
jtlgn are to the effect that the terms of
j the peace treaty will not be made pub
iilc until they have been delivered to
the Germans.
j ? The expectation in the French capi
tal is that President Wlxson will re
? main in France until the peace treaty
is signed and bring bacK the complet
ed document to the United States.
The Adriatic situation as It affects
i Italy and Jugo-Slavia is norv tT:e chief
;point under consideration by the coun
jcil of four. Arthur J. Balfour, the
British Foreign Minister, is acting as
| alternate on the council for David
Lloyd George, who is on a visit to Eu
: gland.
j Pending the conclusion of the peace
? agreement. Germany is to be permit
ted by the AHied governments to pur
chase surplus stocks or their raw ma
terials. This has been decided on by
the economic council. Tile decision
will permit Germany to commence
manufacturing and begin the accumu
